### PV solution and service provider builds another 1.3MW plant for education facility in Corcoran

[Conergy](https://greenlivingguy.com/2020/04/green-investment-group-acquires-conergy-solar-team-and-portfolio/)
did one again. That’s working with four time partner, Washington Gas Energy Systems,
Inc. So the team has successfully completed installing seven solar energy systems
in California’s central valley for the City of Corcoran.

In addition, this time the partners installed a total of 1.3 megawatts at local 
school facilities. That’s in a combination of both [carport](https://greenlivingguy.com/2020/03/solar-carport-clean-energy-direct-to-ev/)
and ground mounted solar energy systems. Seems it’s a special expertise of [Conergy](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/11/conergy-on-solar-quality-and-innovation-in-ontario/).
Through this project, [Conergy](https://greenlivingguy.com/2020/04/guide-to-creating-an-energy-efficient-home/)
further expands its cooperation with utilities in the USA. Similarly on projects
not financed by the end-user of the clean energy but by a third party.

As EPC, Conergy was responsible for engineering, procurement of product and constructing
the system. As well as ongoing operations and maintenance. The long term ownership
of the solar plants belongs to Conergy’s partner Washington Gas Energy Systems.

All whom the PV solution and service provider has already executed other projects
in both California and New Mexico.

#### City of Corcoran to save on electricity costs through self-consumption

The energy produced by the power plants will be used directly by the schools. All
to avoid increasing energy prices and to stabilize overall costs for the school 
district. The schools will be using 100% of the generated electricity via a Power
Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Washington Gas Energy Systems that has a term of 20
years. The more than 4,400 solar modules will produce more than two million megawatt
hours of clean solar power daily. That is the same amount of energy sufficient to
supply more than 21,000 laptops running eight hours a day for a year. And, the installations
are expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions equal to recycling around 560 tons
of waste!

Kansas City is adding solar to public buildings, just blogged a press release from
the city about adding solar to farmers market. \#gogreen
